Back to School

Working on Mermaid pose and, apparently, not remembering correctly what it's supposed to look like.

Yesterday I applied to community college as the first step toward registering for my RYT. I was really excited about it and mentioned to Aspen that I was going back to school in a few weeks. She asked what kind, and I mentioned it was college. She asked why I was going to college again. It's hard to tell her that despite all the money and hours I spent getting a degree ten years ago, I'm finally getting training for the thing I really want to do with my life. Better late than never, though, right?!

I'm really grateful for this opportunity, although I am nervous to jump back into foreign territory. It's been so long since I've had to attend classes, study and take tests. I'm only taking two courses the first semester, so hopefully that helps me ease back into the routine of attending school. And hopefully Linc won't be overwhelmed since he'll only be with a babysitter one day a week to start. I'm actually so nervous about that element that I've already starting talking to Linc about it. He loves Lindsey's boys and I think he honestly will have fun with them when she watches him. I'm optimistic we'll have a couple of rough days in the beginning, and then he'll be super-excited about his weekly trip to her house.

In preparation for the course, I've been diligently attending at least one class each week at the Rec Center, and doing a few practices on my own at home. I'm looking forward to how my practice will change as I study more about the basics of Yoga and eventually take the anatomy class. I can't believe it's finally happening. After I get my acceptance letter, that is.You can also find me on:
